The Macallan Rare Cask Black Whisky
Out of stock
The very first Peated whisky ever released from The Macallan which is a limited edition only available in selected outlets and from whisky sourced from just 100 sherry seasoned casks and non chill-filtered.
Dark amber-nutty brown in colour with a nose of smoked mincemeat, echelfechan tarts, earthy/mulchy forest floor notes, old leather, vintage book shops, mushroom pate on brown toast, roasted hazelnuts, touch of smoked meats or savoury meat stock here on the nose too.
The palate reveals dark honey, smoked nuts, savoury and leathery notes, rich sherry oak with smoke and earth overtones, cured meats, maltloaf, charred meat, esspresso coffee, ginger and sticky dates. On the long chewy and meaty finish there are notes of a platter of smoked meats and nuts with a glass of rich cream sherry on the side, smoked mocha and a lingering savoury/sweet combo.
Not for the Macallan purist for sure but if you like your peat smoke and sweet sherry in the same glass like i do this is a rare treat of a Macallan i would encourage you to seek out at all cost!

Tasting Notes
Colour
Dark amber-nutty brown, with warm mahogany undertones and a subtle smoky glow.
Nose
Intense peat smoke frames an autumnal bouquet of smoked mincemeat, leather and earthy forest floor, with vintage bookshop depth. Roasted hazelnuts and mushroom pate on toast mingle with savoury stock, while dates, figs and raisins deepen the fruit core. Sherry oak lends polish and a gentle sweetness under the smoke, yielding a rich, tactile aroma full of depth and intrigue.
Palate
Dark honey sweetness meets peat-smoked depth and roasted nuts, with a savory, leathery core unfurling over rich sherry oak. Cured meats, malt loaf and charred meat echo through espresso and ginger, while dates lend a sticky sweetness that lingers under a refined, dry smoke finish.
Finish
Long and fruity, finished with an elegant, refined wood smoke. A bright fruit lift lingers beside polished oak, while a whisper of sherry and subtle toasty notes fade into a poised, smoky afterglow.
